The new year thus lar has cer tainly show a firm tendency for all kiuda of "wool, somewhat contrary to the expectation of those who were inclined to look for Born easing off after the holidays In reason of. the unusually large qaautities of wool to be oflered iu Australian primary markets afte' the turn of the year. From every where come reports of strong markets. .At the London audioes prices have hardeuded since the opening day, both merinos and crossbred showing strengthand th competition being very keen A ptrong situation is reported in Sou'h Americfi, notwithstanding the reduced purchases made in that sec'ion of the United States the bulk of the dpsirable wools being quickly taken for European account It is certainly a notable situa tton, in view of the marked in crease In the wool product of Aus tralia and the comparatively high rricea cow ruling fcr wool in all markets of the world. The pro. faction of colonial wool in 1906 was 2,071,000 bales, but the pro duction for 1907 will probably at tain nenrly 2,300,000 bales, ex ceeding the highest previous record ia 1895, and being about half as much again as the smallest quant ity registered as the result of the drought. The production in the Argentine in 1906 was 491,000 bates, as against 4SS.000 bales in 1905, and it is now expected that tha production of this country will remain stationary, although one wool authority looks for a small j dccreane this year in the River Plate clio; but, allowing for this, there would be a net increase of something like the equivalent of about 1. "50,000 colonial bales in these two largest wool producing countries. In this connection, it i interesting to note how the average value ppr bale has risen in ti9 past three years in the face of a rapidly increasing product of colonial wools, without any marked diminution ia the production of other wool growing countries: Colonial clip Average bales val per bale. 1904 1.572,000 U 1905 1,842,000 15 1906 2,071,000 17 In considering the prospects for mniudfe in tbe'face of these figures, it beicg in merinoB in which tie increase in production has largely occurred, we realize that prices are now on a high level, the aver age value per bale being greater in l'JGG than during any year since 1SS2, when it was .C17A, and the value per bale being now higher t'um it wa) in 1900. But we have also entered upon a year when old Btr;ks have been pretty well clear- ACONVICrS B0MANCE ODD WAY IN WHICH A UFI PRISONER WON HIS FREEDOM. tlk OU Itateheaae avt Altear-Tb Yriem ( Ctatu Wk Saw m4 Cnii His Oyrtmmltr Vouched tr by tbe lata Henry Smith, Mm Mid he iMmid tha tact through being peaker of lb UHuUr, there Is an Interesting bit of history connected with the old sUtanoose at Albany, where it has stood for rears, the finest example of pure Doric architecture in this country, on the easterly side of Ea gle street, between Pine and Steuben streets, Its walls and partitions all of solid stone, very much as if its balls, rooms and stairs bad been carved out within a huge block of marble. It was completed In 1S42, costing the state about $350,000. It is built entirely of Sing Slug marble, quarried and cut within the prison walls. The old capitol belug inadequate to accommodate tho increasing business of the state, this additional building was planned and built and Is still used for the offices of the state comptroller, the state engineer and surveyor and the state banking department In a spirit of economy It was decided to have as much as possible of ths work done by the prisoners from the material found within the prison walls at Sing Slug, fairly good material, too, but not the best, as it is a soft marble, as evidenced by the wear which now shows so plainly in the steps and by the crumbling of some of the stones from exposure to the weather. All the mate rial was cut to completion within the walls of the prison under such plans that when shipped to Albany there would be no further work necessary except practically to lay one stone up on another, and so on until the whole was assembled in the completed build ing. To accomplish this detailed plan a system of marking the stones was nec essary. The plans were carefully made and a system of marking elaborately laid out by the architect In charge, who found In the prison at Sing Sing a life prisoner whose record showed m to be an engineer of the highest ability and who seemed as competent as any man In the country to carry out the wotfc to be done In the prison, and nat- umU he wa not oawullnc to follow bis cheaem profession la preference to dotnf the ! tabor of cutting or qtafTTtnsr scene. So, following the spurt of eeenosny referred to above, the plana In detail and the system of mark lng were turned orer to him and the whole work at that end giren over to hie foil snparlntaaiaeaee and absolute control. In due time the stones In their vari ous shapes and aleea and In quantity for the whole boildlng were delivered ta Albany and the work of construc tion commenced in accordance with the plans and system of marking original ly furnished. "With the very first stone there was trouble. It not only did not fit the place, but none of the stones marked to adjoin it fitted It, and, fur ther. It did not seem ever Intended for the place the number indicated. In vestigation brought out that the stones were not of the sizes or shapes speci fied and shown on the plana, and, as to the system of marking, it was quite evident that the stones brought togeth er by it had no relation whatever to each other. The bewildered architect hardly knew whether be was a candidate for the asylum or possibly for Sing Sing. How ores, a careful verification of his plans j and his marking system proved their correctness, and the blame fell square ly upon the civil englneet, the life pris oner. He was questioned, taken severe ly to task and roundly rated for bis ID competence and threatened and abused. He bmC tt all aalmly. It looks to me like a mighty good Joke on you fellows. Anyway It Is tha best joke I have hoard etnee I came to Sing Sing." A to their continued threats be said: "What oan you do to a life prison- I.OCAL, STOCK ASSOCIATION. Residents ! Mauamtal Cennlry Effect Organisation. A number of local stockmen, who have been pasturing their stock in J what is now the Heppner forest reserve, met in this city Saturday and perfected or- gamzaoizinx a local stock association for their mutual protection aud to con fer with the government atieuts regard- iog the phsiu in.: of stock nn 'the re serve, says the Monument Enterprise. Oscar Scbafer was elected president and Thomas Haywood secretary of the association. Emmet Cochran was au thorized to act s the association's rep resentative to the executive committee of the Grant County Stock Association, it being the wish of the members of the looat organizition to become Ja branch of the county association. Harmony prevailed throughout the entire meeting. The association will ask the government to set aside a cer tain portion of the reserve for the ex clvsive use of the local stockraisers, where horses, cattle and sheep range together under the same conditions as heretotore has existed. It is to be hoped that th- government will listen to the appeal ot the association. The neighb ring stockmen of this vicinity are ranging their stock together on same range without the slightest hitch or in fringement upon each other.

Many persons have an objection to riding in elevators, or, more property speaking, this objection should be class ed as a feeling of dread or fear. But according to the superintendent of a big office building In Philadelphia the safest place for a person to be is m an elevator that la, statistically speaking. In the set of elevators for which sta-: tisttes have been kept by the superln-! tendent there has een an average transportation of 2,400,000 persons each year for seven years, an aggregate of 14800,000, and of this number but one person has been Injured, and that In Jury did not result fatally.
